About Christine

Christine Willis helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She supports clients dealing with relationship strain, addiction issues, anger and problems with self-esteem. Christine also assists people coping with major life changes and career concerns.

She works with trauma, intimacy-related worries and family-related difficulties. Christine practises using methods from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of patterns that keep problems repeating.

How Christine works

Conversations are warm and non-judgemental, and she invites people to set the pace and priorities for therapy. With eight years of experience, Christine brings steady support for complicated feelings such as guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation. She has worked with issues including domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, codependency and infidelity.

Christine also offers help around concerns linked to cancer and bereavement. In sessions she combines short-term coping strategies with longer-term reflection on past experiences and relationships. That mix aims to reduce distress now while helping people notice and change unhelpful patterns over time.

Practical techniques from CBT are used alongside open, person-focused conversation. Christine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support options

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people feel heard and to find their own solutions; this can help with low self-esteem, loneliness and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours over weeks rather than months.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past relationships and patterns that shape present feelings. Talking about long-standing patterns can help with issues like attachment problems, unresolved grief and repeating relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix is part of the process and Christine will work together with each person to choose what fits best. That means checking goals, testing different techniques and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to sessions from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with low bandwidth or who prefer no camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still drawing on the same therapeutic methods used in face-to-face work.
